Chris Coghlan had a monster day at the plate in a losing effort against the Phillies on Friday, going 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI.

Coghlan also drew a walk and swiped a pair of bases in the contest. He has been a very pleasant surprise in a near everyday role for the Cubs this season, slashing .257/.349/.435 with 10 home runs, 23 RBI and nine stolen bases. Jul 24 - 7:42 PM

Chris Coghlan is not in the starting lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Chris Coghlan had a monster day at the plate in a losing effort against the Phillies on Friday, going 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI.

Coghlan also drew a walk and swiped a pair of bases in the contest. He has been a very pleasant surprise in a near everyday role for the Cubs this season, slashing .257/.349/.435 with 10 home runs, 23 RBI and nine stolen bases.

Chris Coghlan went 1-for-3 with an RBI single in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

Coghlan scored on a wild pitch by Marlins starter Mat Latos in the first inning, then pushed the advantage to 2-0 with an RBI single in the eighth. The Cubs would win by that final score. While his numbers aren't eye-popping, he's shown frisky power and is a useful real-life baseball piece, if not a legitimate fantasy one. Coghlan's hitting .254/.355/.428 with eight homers, 19 RBI and 31 runs scored this season.

Chris Coghlan went 2-for-5 and hit a three-run homer Wednesday versus the Tigers.

Coghlan has picked up the OBP of late, so it doesn't look like the Cubs will be replacing him in left field anytime soon. He's still showing the surprising power, too, with eight homers in 166 at-bats. He hit nine in 385 at-bats last year.

Batting leadoff for the second time this season, Chris Coghlan struck out all three times he was up Wednesday before being removed for a pinch-hitter.

Manager Joe Maddon got in his head to drop Dexter Fowler into the cleanup spot tonight, putting Coghlan and his .290 OBP atop the order. Since it didn't work out, there's a good chance Coghlan will go right back to batting seventh on Friday.

Chris Coughlan went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Coughlan's fifth inning shot off of Jeremy Hellickson drew the Cubs to within 4-3, but neither team would score the rest of the way, giving the Diamondbacks a sweep of the weekend series. The homer was Coughlan's seventh of the season and he's hitting .208/.283/.440. He'll give you the occasional home run, but he's sorely lacking in most other areas of play.

Chris Coghlan drilled two solo home runs in four at-bats, but the Cubs were bested by the Padres on Tuesday.

Coghlan gave the Cubs a 1-0 lead with a third-inning solo home run off of James Shields. He gave the Cubs a fighting chance in the bottom of the ninth with another solo shot off of Craig Kimbrel to make it a 4-3 deficit. Coghlan now has six four-baggers on the year along with only nine RBI and a .205/.276/.429 batting line.

The homer, off Noah Syndergaard, was Coghlan's fourth of the year. His last home run was April 24. Coghlan still owns a starting spot in the Cubs' outfield for the time being despite a .208/.276/.406 batting line on the year.

Chris Coghlan went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, and a solo home run as the Cubs topped the Reds in 10 innings on Monday.

Coghlan homered in the bottom of the sixth inning off of Mike Leake to bring the Cubs back to within 6-4 at the time. The former NL Rookie of the Year is off to a nice start this season, batting .375 (6-for-16) with a pair of solo home runs.

Chris Coghlan (neck) said Friday that he will be ready for Opening Day on Sunday.

The veteran outfielder has been sidelined the past few days with a stiff neck, but it won't keep him out of action once the regular season kicks off. He's expected to serve as the team's primary left fielder against right handed pitching, at least until Kris Bryant arrives.

Chris Coghlan (neck) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's Cactus League game.

Coghlan's out with a stiff neck. It had not previously been an issue this spring, though he was dealing with a leg injury in the middle of March. Assuming nothing serious, he should be ready for Opening Day.

Depth Charts

Miguel Montero (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Tennessee on Sunday.

He's missed the last few weeks with a sprained left thumb. David Ross and Kyle Schwarber have shared time behind the plate during his absence. Montero is only hitting .230 this year with 10 homers and 32 RBI.

Tsuyoshi Wada (shoulder) gave up four runs over four innings Monday in a minor league rehab start with Double-A Tennessee.

Wada, out since June 22 with inflammation in his left deltoid muscle, allowed eight hits (including two home runs) while striking out five. It's unclear what the next step will be. Clayton Richard is currently serving as the Cubs' fifth starter.

Turner was on a rehab assignment from a mild flexor strain in the elbow but a flare-up caused him to halt his progress. The Cubs have no timetable for his return to the mound and, obviously, for his eventual return to Wrigley.

Zac Rosscup (shoulder) is shifting his minor league rehab assignment to Double-A Tennessee.

Rosscup made two dominant appearances in the rookie-level Arizona League and has now moved one step closer to returning to the Cubs' bullpen. If he's truly back to full health, the 27-year-old can be a weapon in left-handed relief for Chicago down the stretch.
